China, ill just say this. This summit was not about china. That was not the purpose of the meeting, but china came up.

And i think this relationship we put together, and i think youre going to see it expand. This is a historic meeting, but were about to lay in place a longterm structure for a relationship that will last and have a phenomenal impact not just in asia but Around The World.
